Yesterday our 10th grandchild was born. It is a girl, her name is Lieve. Mother and daughter are very well.

Again there was a heavy experience with a pregnant daughter. We went to hospital for supervision, because she was already 10 days overtime. On the route back she almost got her child in the car. Back home, she needed just two minutes and then there was the baby.

Carnival is over. I didn't take part of this festivities. I only saw a procession in the Village where one of my daughters lives with her husband and children. The little girls were nice dressed up.In the street where my daugther lives and in front of her house the participiants of the procession take up their position before they go on to de village.In this little village of about 2000 inhabitants there are more than 70 cars and groups, often with nice costumes and colours.Carnaval is weer voorbij. Ik heb er niet veel aan gedaan, maar we hebben wel de optocht bekeken in het dorp waar een van onze dochters woont met man en kinderen. De kleine meisjes waren leuk verkleed.De optocht stelt zich op voor het huis van onze dochter en we zien zo alles van dichtbij. In dit kleine dorp van ruim 2000 inwoners trekken 70 praalwagens en groepen mee, de een nog mooier verkleed dan de ander.
